    Hi folks

    found this in an antique shop yesterday for £3

    i really like it, charming

    looks like from the base that it once had a gold wash or something

    im guessing chinese prunus decoration ?

    i would think quite old ?

    any help or thoughts appreciated

    It is lovely, charlie.:)
    Not sure it is Chinese, prunus, or meant for tea.:shy: I do think it is East Asian, possibly Southeast Asian, and a bargain.:happy:

    Thanks fig, most things in the shops around here(like everywhere) are way over priced, or priced for no profit, so its lucky to find things
